Welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Just a man. We got a new host. How are we doing? I'm back mostly I just had to take a day off for what was this

you said I said you had a follicle a follicle emergency where did that come from oh that's where it came you understand that sometimes you sit in that seat and you just say things just come out your mouth

yeah welcome into the fantasy footballers it happens um no follicle emergencies here i couldn't tell them the truth jason has them on his upper lip oh i have a big of yes yes i do it's funny i you forget how you look like everyone everyone forget how you look yeah i wish i could forget how you look yeah well the nice thing is that i forget how i look because the cam scadaboo mustache um from the hollowne episode it doesn't just go way it takes time to grow back and so yeah it is one of those things where I'm walking around I'm living life I'm just in the house or whatever and I turn the corner and my catch a reflection my family sees me and they give me this look and I'm like what and I go oh yeah sorry it's the

you're disgusting dad yeah it's the what what are you doing the side effects of the Halloween show have uh it's happened to all of us yeah well except for Mike he never shaves for the Halloween show But he did get himself painted up And I'm guessing that took a while to come off No, actually It was fine No, okay, well, you know Well, I had the, the, the wife

knew what I, what my outfit was And she's like, you should bring these with you Makeup remover? Yeah. Oh, that's smart. And I remember, if I didn't have those, I would have been on my face all day. I remember Taylor Swift and I remember

Batman where I shaved my face. and the mask was too tight. Oh, yeah. That was, that was, you know, I know that you get all the love for the Taylor Swift and the blue medical tent as deserved. The blue medical tent. It will never be. It will never be beat.

It is my favorite. But the Batman is my favorite. Because I was, I was squeezed in the marshmallow. Marshmallow Batman. It was the marshy. It didn't fit. The stay puffed man and a Batman cost. I weighed a few more pounds, shaved the face, and paid the price.

and paid the price. So welcome into the show. You know what I said. I said I wasn't going to come back here and host the show again. Unless my Cardinals got a W on Monday night football. Yeah. I love this team. I'll tell you what.

Kyler at his best is probably a better quarterback in the NFL from what we've seen. We've seen Kyler be a peak quarterback before. We have. It's been a couple years. It's been a long time. but unquestionably, Jacoby Bressat is better for this offense. I mean, the Cardinals have hope on third down. The Cardinals can pass the ball down the field in the intermediate,

I mean, in the middle of the field. The best example, matters. The best example last night, and they talked about it on the broadcast, was the pocket was just collapsing around Brissette. The offensive line was pushed back into him. He didn't scramble out or buy more time. he just stood in and knew he was going to take a hit but let the route downfield develop

and he threw a strike. I think that was the, I think that was the Michael Wilson. Oh, that play was amazing. It was awesome. And it was like, the truth is Kyler would never have stood in that pocket to allow any routes to develop. So the play would have been a catastrophe instead of a masterpiece. The Cardinals have lost 16 to 15, 2320, 20. 2221, 31, 37 with Brissette against Indianapolis, in Indianapolis, with a pass to McBride on the goal line to win the game. Then they lose against Green Bay in just narrow fashion. And then they beat Dallas at home. I don't know what they are, but I know that I'm really happy that Marvin Harrison matters for fantasy. Trey McBride has scored four times for fantasy

with Jacoby Brissette in three games. Jacoby Brissette is doing something that we love. We love it when Joe Flacco does it. We love it when James Winston does it. We love it when these backups come in there with a veteran gunslinger mentality and just execute an offense and then Jonathan Gannon comes out today and says nothing has changed and

Kyler's our starter. But I don't believe it. I don't believe you. It's really hard to make that move. I think nothing has changed. His foot is getting more sore by the day. 100%. Nothing has changed means Kyler is the starter when I determine his foot is ready.

Yeah, I mean, it's wild. They play Seattle next week. Career high in receptions for Marvin Harrison, Jr. I believe he had... Coincidence? He had five targets in the first quarter. Yeah, 10 on the game. It should have had two more catches.

Jacoby missed them on a couple easy ones. I'll tell you this, man. So I lost my matchup. I think we had mentioned what I needed the stack versus Jacoby Meyer. Jacoby Brissette Jacoby Brissette playing against him usually not a terrifying thing

I have talked about all season how much I love the Cowboys defense because I've got that Dax City stack that's my favorite thing. It was not my favorite thing last night. It was terrible. I have terrible news for you as well, Jason. Oh no. The Cowboys made a trade. Oh no.

To solidify the defense. To solidify the defense. It's fixed. Oh no. I still have the Dax City stack. I want their defense No, no, it's fixed now. What'd they do? They got a, what is the linebacker? Yeah, from the Cincinnati Bengals.

Oh, that'll do it. But it was a guy that they had benched. So the, so the, the fix for the Cowboys is to go after maybe the only worst defense out there and be like, that's our dude. A guy who had been benched. We had heard before the game that the trade had, a trade had been made to help bolster their defense. and then when I found out they're getting a linebacker from the Bengals who

these are legendary defenses when it comes to points given up the most total yards allowed by a defense Cincinnati's on pace to set the all-time record for most yards ever allowed by a defense and Dallas is on pace to be the sixth worst of all time so two legendary defenses

and here's the thing the Cardinals defense was great they slowed down Dak. Dak did not have a great game. They got their first round drapick from this year. This was his first game. He hadn't played yet. He got injured.

And he had a very nice showing. The defense had already been pretty good this season. That had not been the weakness of the Cardinals. But, you know, adding a first rounder matters. Javante had 83 yards on the ground but fumbled at the end. C.D. Lamb, 7 for 85, pickin, 6 for 79. Ferguson had a fumble as well. It was 5 for 50.

It was okay. and there you go and 7 for 96 and 1 for Marvin Harrison and there's your Monday night football game let's talk some news news and notes from around the league presented by progressive insurance I mean

I guess if you didn't report on it yesterday I did listen to the show I heard about the eunuch I heard about Rico Dowdle the eunuch the unsullied I oh you renamed him yeah he's a warrior He's an awesome, you know what I mean?

So if you're a eunuch warrior, you're an unsullie. That's just, yeah, if you watch Game of Thrones. He's not talking to the little birdies. He's not the spider or whatever, yeah. The worm? No, yeah, the worm was the worm was an unsulloile. The spider. No, we're talking about the, the, the, the, it's been a long time.

Yeah, a bald guy. The bald unit guy who was always talking to the birdies. Yeah, not that one. Varis, right? Oh, is it? Okay. Varis is, I don't know, man. But I was going to say, I lost the wild.

Water Bowl. I lost the Water Bowl. You did. It was very tight into last night. Yeah, I scored a bunch of points and still didn't matter. It was a ton of fun. So well, I'm probably getting wet. All right. The Packers did formally announce that Tucker Kraft is out for the year with the Torn ACL. You guys talked about it yesterday.

This sucks. I mean, part of the and sometimes I feel like I have to say it. The second half sleeper pick of Jordan Love. It was about him getting weapons back. Yeah. It was about getting Christian Watson back about getting Matthew Goldmore involved in the offense, about getting Jaden Reid back in a couple weeks.

And Tucker Kraft had just come back. Yeah, and now you lose Tucker Kraft and you lose Matthew Golden. It takes a lot of confidence away from Jordan Love for me. Even this weekend, you know, there's just this offense is going to do, to me, it resorts to what it does best when

it needs to, and that's going to be Josh Jacobs. Matthew Golden's been lost since preseason. He's got an injury though now. Yeah. Yeah. They did say it is day-to-day not week to week. So good news. And then they did talk about Jaden Reed recently. Matt LaFour saying he's getting healthier.

Is he close? But what I say he's close? What is close? That's what he said. Oh, my God. So that's kind of the vibes right now with Amari and Hampton, too. What's that word even mean? So they said they're not going to even open his window to return until after the week 12 by week.

So, you know, we're going into week 10. So that's 10, 11, 12. That's three weeks gone. And then you open the window, hopefully, but it's a 21-day window. That doesn't mean that they're not going to have him practice for a week or two before putting them back on the field. Maybe they open it and put him right back in. We see teams approach it differently. But you know you're not having him for another month.

And worse news. Much worse. Their left tackle star, Joe Alt, their former right tackle star who had to go to left tackle star because the left tackle star, because the left tackle star got injured, injured, and now he's out for the season. Yeah, I mean, I think Justin Herbert's going to get that quick running game thing going the rest of the season. I mean, if you have a collapsing pocket and he has his mobility back,

which he clearly does, it was something we talked about before the year. He may have to run more, but it also means that you may have some variability on production for that team on the offense in general. You could definitely see, like, he'll over. overcome it most of the time, but there will be a game or two where it's a really low floor now. So he's a scarier start because should a defense take advantage of this beat-up offensive line without a running game, it just really changes his range of outcomes to be able to be more

negative. With Lamar Jackson missing the time he has this year. And Jaden. And Jaden. Justin Herbert is the leader in rushing yards at quarterback. Is that true? Josh Allen, what are you doing up there? I think it's... I don't know what you're reading, but I know... I mean, Kyle's saying it's true. Josh Allen's at 280. Yeah, so 305 is the leader right now.

Because, I mean, I think Jackson Dart would obviously be there if he had played the whole season. It's just working out right now. Herbert is ahead. Pooka Nukua scheduled to have a scan for the rib injury he suffered. Dart's already at 251. Yeah. Pooka Nakua, they're optimistic. Hopefully the ribs are okay.

Somaget Pirine week to week for the Bengals. let's see if we can get Chase Brown to 27 targets a game. They're going on the bye week, which is good news. Did you guys see what happened with Chase Brown? And his, so he made comments after the game. Yeah, I've watched those comments. But did you see what the head coach said about those comments? I did not.

But I'm guessing, knowing Zach Taylor, he's probably not. He was not happy about it. And he literally said like, well, of Chase Brown, he basically, I'm paraphrasing here. but what he said was if Chase Brown played a perfect game, that's one thing to talk about, but he made some big mistakes. And I talked to Chase Brown and I was very unhappy with it, and it won't happen again.

Yeah, I mean, you could see Chase Brown trying not to say things. Yeah. In his eyes and then they just came out. It's got to be frustrating, man. You mean giving up 40-something points a game? Yeah. Yeah. Your defense matters.

What is got to be a little frustrating for Cincinnati is you spent the entire offseason with the Hendrickson like situation. You're like, oh, gosh, I'll write the check. That'll fix this of defense. Kishon Booty day-to-day with the hamstring injury. Kyle Williams should settle down and get more opportunities. Hey, hey, hey. Kyle is, or, sorry, Mike is a big Kyle Williams, support it.

I am. Aaron Glenn says Garrett Wilson will practice this week. That's great news. So will Terad Taylor. Oh, man. Has it named a starting quarterback. Oh, did you see that one? That interview with Aaron Glenn this week.

the quarterback about the quarterback no it is i almost shared it in slack this morning like just let me guess let me guess yeah yeah yeah i haven't seen it yep i'm assuming erin glen came across as a very experienced head coach easily handling that question from the media perfect uh you you're just you're slightly off okay tell me where i'm wrong so he kind of had to go back and forth with the person uh the the journalist asking will they name a starter is like no competitive advantage and it's like well doesn't isn't there something about giving op you know giving like optimism and confidence to the to the quarterback being named the starter is is that not helpful he's like the confidence is the conversation i have with the

quarterback not what i have with you and he's like okay different question what is the what is the advantage like you say you're you're you're you know holding on to this to have a competitive advantage okay so he says so what what is that competitive advantage he goes that's in my mind oh it's like that's for me to know something like that it was like excuse me i was watching this going you are that's for me to know and you to find out i it was it was a cringy my guy it was cringy it was like i it was like i was like i was watching with fingers over the face like meet the falkers type yeah he's uh he's on his way out where don't they get media training no they definitely don't Quinshon Judkins practicing on Monday

That's good news Part of our waiver show today was going to be Dylan Samson where he slots in Senator Tillman designated a return from the hamstring injury Nobody cares I mean you just don't right now With this offense

For fantasy you cannot care Kyle Shanahan Kyle Shanahan said the team will not open Brandon Nayuk's 21 day window this week So he's not back yet And then Marvin Mims didn't practice That was news and note sponsored by Progressive Insurance

Coverage subject to policy terms, limits, and conditions. Did you guys make the Falcon do the disclaimers yesterday when I was going on? No, we did not. I mean, he is so capable of filling in if you need them in the future. It's good to know. I'm going to have to remember that. Yeah, he loves it. He's a linguist. By the way, I'm sure you mentioned it, but we have a signed James Cook jersey giveaway going on right now. We did talk about that yesterday. At footclane giveaway.com, if you want to get in there. We'll take a break. We'll jump into the waiver wire.

All right, guys, I hope you have some profound things to say. I got really good takes. Yeah, the running back position is a little sketch. The Waver Wire, presented by Jimmy Johns. All right, here it is. Here's your flamethrower hot take. Oh, boy.

This is a real bad week for Waiver. wire running backs. My piece of advice I would give if you need a start this week from the wire at running back, not for, there's a lot of good insurance options. But if you need someone to start, my advice is good luck. Good luck. Not happening. Yeah, this is.

I was really hoping Kyle Munungai's owner, his roster percentage was low enough to be number one here, which please check. I mean, it's like in the 70s. So Kyle Munungai, what a game. Did you guys get to talk about that very much? much? Uh, we did a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we didn't probably make enough of it because he, he was outstanding. Obviously, if he's on waivers, pick him up. They're, you know, I'm just trying to cheat code this thing, bro. Yeah. The names on this list are not, it's not good this week. You have

some by weeks. You're grabbing a policy. Yeah, it's all insurance. It's all insurance guys this week. You guys talked about Blake Corum. As of right now. He got opportunities 13 for 58 because they put people away. And that's when he gets those chances. I, and we, seen him used around the goal line. So, I mean, I will say this. If you really do need a start from the waivers, what you should look at is touchdown opportunities. None of these guys are going to go out without an unexpected injury week of. I have the worst number one name for that list. The worst, better than Blake Korn? Yes. Oh, let me hear it. It's, it's the monitoring of Ramandre and the starting of Terrell Jennings. Oh, yeah, because he was used around the goal line.

I mean, that's... He had the only carry inside the five, small sample, but... I'm looking at this list. Look, I was out on Breschard Smith last week, and he got nothing. They're not using him. Bachel Tutin, Hart, I mean, maybe. I thought that's who you were going to say. I mean, this is the tier we're in.

Maybe what you actually look at here in a name that we need to have enter the conversation is Amari Demarcato. Yeah. Because if they don't bring Trey Benson back for Arizona, which he's not eligible to return until week 10, and we're going into week 10, right? So we don't have news. And his recovery timeline was a bit longer. He should not be. Yeah. Trey Benson

should not be available this week. The Cardinals best running back last night was Amari DiMarcato. It was. The play action game is what works for this offense right now. We saw it last night. So maybe that's going to enter the conversation as a really relevant name. I think he's a name that should be brought up because there's

deep leagues out there where you got to take some sort of chance, some sort of swing. It's I think it's brutal with the with the cardinals it would be i thought we were trending towards a a path of like yeah bam night will for sure get the majority of the opportunities and the snaps it moved away from that i mean it's he narrowly missed a touchdown yeah i don't know demarcato looks great it just is it wouldn't next week maybe it's bam night next week maybe it's michael carter the fact that

it could be three guys where i thought we had narrowed it down leads me devon singletary splitting work For the Giants? Yeah, I'm more open to Devon's Singletary than, or I guess the Singletary floor is going to be better than the Demarcato floor. I think the floor, but I don't think the ceiling is. Correct. Yeah, yeah. If you're picking up an Aaron Glenn level of lack of conviction,

it's because we don't have a lot of conviction around these running backs. We have waiver rankings on the site. I think DeMarcato is near the top of mine. Jennings, both of those guys completely unrastered. Both of them can be added. If you need to pick someone up, both can be picked up, single Terry. You know, Dylan Sampson is really not on the radar for me this week with Judkins practicing on Monday. Yeah, I mean, I still would be in on Dylan Sampson because now if Judkins plays, we've seen Dylan Sampson basically disappear.

This is not like a committee situation. But the fact that you are dealing with an AC joint sprain, like if you have to pick someone up and play them, there's two avenues to success. You get a touchdown or the starter gets injured. And so if I'm going to look at, well, how could a starter get injured? Well, take one that is already injured and dealing with it that could be knocked out of the game again. So he's definitely still on my radar. If you have Judkins, you should really pick him up.

Oh, for sure. Yeah. I mean, the Judkins manager should be the guy picking up Samson in every league because you're not going to throw a ton of money at Dylan Samson right now. But the Judkins manager should because then you've got the confidence. that you have a running back start. They're playing against the Jets who have not looked good. And then you're just going to golden ticket insurance options, which to me, like Tank Bigsby would be maybe top of that list.

Yeah, I'm searching right now. I haven't heard anything about Barclay since the injury, whatever it was two weeks ago. Was it a... Yeah, it was a groin. He could have come back in that game. Well, they said that. Yeah.

So I think he is okay. but yeah this is the time you want to make sure you're protecting yourself so you don't end up in the situation right now that you might need a start right if you got that guy and your guy gets hurt you don't need to listen to this part of the show because you're prepared and there's names like that yeah all these all these names in order plus more are on the ultimate dashboard so go to the go to the fancy footballers and use the tools next to your leagues and find your guys also drop candidates this week which I don't think we're going to say to drop any of them because of the way the waiver wire looks. Right. I mean, it's worth mentioning Jacori Kraski Merit right now is, you know, he hasn't had to rush over 11 yards in the last month. He's averaging 3.1 a carry.

He doesn't have a carry inside the five, and they lost their quarterback. And they played Detroit this week. I mean, J.C.M. is a bench. Oh, yeah. He's a definite bench. I would not drop in. And Tony Pollard at this point, with the emergence of Tage Spears, with Pollard's rumored trade deadline involvement. It's been, it's a better play to play Spears right now.

Yeah, you might, yeah, I mean, you may be right that Spears is a better play than Pollard, but Pollard's a better play than almost all those waiver wire names. I agree. We said 12, 12, 13, 12, when it comes to opportunities per game. Pollard and Spears were like identical last week. Yeah, I mean, Spears, though, in the last four weeks, seven, six, 16, and eight. Yeah, they're very similar. They're going on by, though.

But Pollard had a couple runs. Oh, then he is not a better play this week. I thought Pollard looked pretty good. We are getting breaking news. Breaking news. Oh, man, I don't know how to feel about this. The Raiders are trading wide receiver Jacobi Myers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a fourth and sixth round picks.

Wow. This is, I mean, literally yesterday you guys talked about it. Brian Thomas Jr.'s hurt. Travis Hunter's on IR. Diami Brown is hurt. And PJ Washington's this last man standing. Interesting. And now Jacoby Myers is a member of the Jaguars and should get some targets.

Oh, yeah, for sure. This is bad news for Parker Washington, although really it might be bad news for Brian Thomas. I mean, making this. On the severity of the injury? Exactly. No, it was rumored high ankle sprain, right? Yeah. I thought I saw that.

And then what do you do on the Raiders side? Oh, Brock Bowers. We're like, we don't need any wide receiver. I got bad news that Brock Bowers is not on your waiver wire. I'm saying, like, is, is, is Trey Tucker more interesting now? He is more interesting, but you also, you know, you just have to understand, like, he plays every snap. He already was playing every snap. He was already out there all the time.

Jacob Myers was not making a huge impact. Jack Bash will get more snaps. Jack Bash, I don't know if you guys realized. Oh, he did not play. Well, he did not get snaps because Tyler Lockett was brought in. That's right. That's right. I forgot about Tyler Lockett.

What you doing? Who came in and had a good block that opened up a touchdown. But I'm saying veteran savvy. I mean, Thornton didn't get snaps either. The way that the season is going for the Raiders. How are you not playing your second round wide receiver and you're playing Tyler Lockett? Because Tyler Lockett played for your coach. Right.

Yeah, I mean, I don't. Sorry, it was, I know what the answer is, but the answer is unacceptable. Do not play any of them this week. don't play a wide receiver for them unacceptable. They play Denver on Thursday. Yeah, no, no, no. You watch from the sideline. Bowers and Gentie. Tucker's the only one that you could play in Desperation

State because he plays every snap. All the other guys, Thornton, Bess didn't play. Lockett played 30% of snaps. Brock Bowers is A, B, C, and D on this team. Yeah, and you did have more targets going Gentie's way, so this could be good news for Jim. Yes, yes. Alvin Camara, people have asked me a lot on Twitter. Can I cut

Alvin, come here. For who? Like for who? You know what's crazy is the last two weeks? I think he is banged up. I remember he got hurt. I think it was in the Chicago game. And he hasn't missed any time as far as he hasn't missed games.

But he's missed snaps. I mean, he was playing 70, 80 percent of snaps most of the season. And now the last two weeks, 51%, 59% of snaps. So whether that's dealing with injury, whether that's, I don't. I mean, I don't know. It's not like they're trying to get some other guy involved, like Devin Neal or whoever. Right. He didn't get the reception bump we thought could happen with Chuck.

He had one catch. His target share, I believe, went up. I mean, three targets. Yeah, they didn't throw the ball in much at all. They threw the ball like 20-something time. I don't care about target share. I care about target totals in that offense. Remember in this game that the Rams utterly dominated.

This was a farce of a. a farce of a game where the Saints couldn't do anything, didn't have the ball much. I would certainly not throw Alvin Camara a way to waivers, but I don't think it's going to be as bad as it was

this last week for Tyler Sucks first start. Woody Marks, 13 opportunities, 27 yards last week. I wouldn't drop him. Don't drop him. Wide receiver waiver pickups. We talked about Jaden Reed. They're working to get him back. He is. But what is close,

but what is close what is anything who can say what close means it's all in my head it's all in my brain um i there's a chance jane reed matters at the end of this season there is a chance i will agree with that i mean you talked about golden wasn't getting targeted a lot now hurt tucker craft gone i did not get to hear if you guys talked about luke musgrave we'll talk about it in the waiver section for tight ends i don't have the confidence that he'll be a major player in this offense. The yard after catch ability of Tucker Kraft is what was special. Yeah, Musgrave is not Tucker Kraft. No. And so to me, there's a place where Jaden Reed, if he is somehow on your waiver wire, and you can tuck them on your IR, and you can wait towards

the end of the season, we see injuries every week, guys. They devastate teams. And there's a chance to Jaden Reed, who has been very good at the end of seasons before is back. I don't know if you agree or disagree, but. I agree. I just think if you've got an IR league. He's probably not sitting on waivers. If he is, then might as well. He's not going to take up a bench spot. My league of record team is in desperate need of a third IR spot. I am going to have to keep an out Jaden Daniels on my bench. Yeah, I mean, so I would imagine if that's the case, you might have a more important out player than Jaden Reed. Reed is 36% roster, believe it or not. Cedric Tillman, we talked about it, Noah Brown, eligible to return in

week 11. I don't know why he's on here. Travis, we got to report the news. Mike Evans, week 13. Free agent pickups, I still think PJ, Parker Washington. Yeah. Did we say PJ earlier? No, no, I don't think so. Parker Washington, eight for 90 last week with Brian Thomas Jr. There, he was almost his third game with double digit targets. The Jacoby edition does not change anything of how I'm looking at Parker Washington. He's, he's important to this coaching staff into this office.

offense and you just you have to accept that that's what they're doing so you follow those targets yeah and i don't think parker washington's going to be a rest of season revelation but right now while they need him and and brian thomas seemingly with this trade is probably not going to play as how i would view it without more information right now going into waiver wire day so honestly the jacobi mire thing might be good for parker washington it might allow parker to not just be like, okay, this is the last guy we got a guard. Now, would you rather have Parker Washington or someone like Alec Pierce?

Alex Pierce is my number one wide receiver pickup this week. Okay, so better quarterback, better offense, and he's been getting it done. Did you see the target totals last week? I mean, because they were for Alec Pierce? Yeah, they were getting throttled. I mean, two of the last three games. I think him and Pittman had double-digit target. He was at 13, averaging 19.2 a catch. He is 12th in yards per game at the wide receiver.

position. He is such a good fit with Daniel Jones in this offense. And it's close between those two for me. I probably do what you did, which is to lean on the side of the better quarterback and offense that I have confidence in. But I think both of those, I mean, unlike the running back position, both of those guys are very, very viable. They're both under 30 percent. There's actually, I think, a handful of decent waiver. There's a good waiver wire week for wide receivers. I personally, I think Darius Slayton is a like a must add on on rosters. Two weeks ago

he got that touchdown that was egregiously called back for a phantom call. I mean, back to back weeks, that would have been relevance. He's out there 90% of the time. I mean, he dropped a touchdown last week. Yeah, I mean, that is kind of a... Yeah, he's

known to do that, but he is seemingly the number one target, certainly when it comes to valuable targets on this team, not just like screen games, game. No, I like it. Scrimmage stuff. And you play Chicago. Darts looked great. Yeah, the matchup against Chicago is good so long as the wind is okay in the windy city. I will say the, because I like Josh Downs too with Alec Pierce. If it matters to you, it is an international game. The, they've kind of been do-do for fantasy value over the, over the course of this year.

So if that's part of your analysis. Except the Rams. Yeah, you've got to show up late. That's the, that's the secret. I'm saying for the most part. You know why the Graham showed up the night before and we're like, we're fine. They put a lot of crappy teams over there, Mike. When the good teams play over there, they play better. But when it's Jacksonville and Cleveland, that could be an issue as well. Tori Horton, are you chasing two touchdowns from Hortons? Yeah, I mean, I'm not chasing two touchdowns.

I am chasing a rookie potentially breaking out. Obviously, this came while Cooper Cup was injured, and I don't know how long Cooper Cup will be out. But this is a player who has flashed so much. He flashed in training camp. He flashed in preseason. He flashed on special teams with touchdowns early in the season. It's a little too much for me. He is basically just wearing an overcoat.

That's it. Yeah. And he's just running around being like, touchdown. Oh, touchdown. Look at this. Touchdown. It's the post, I know the Cooper Cup injury lined up, but post by week rookie up to 73% of the snaps and looks like he belongs.

and Seattle should be changing. It's rational coaching. It's a fallacy, but he looks like he should be playing that allotment of snaps every single week. I like it. I like him if Kopp is not playing. Most years, there is a second half rookie wide receiver breakout in the last like five years, in the modern NFL, and, you know, that you don't necessarily see coming. And this is one where it's like you've seen those shows of brilliance and Sam,

Sam Donald looks great. Sam Donald, through his first eight games, is beating every metric of Sam Donald through his first eight games last year when he was, like, legit for the Vikings. And there's also opportunity here from a play standpoint. Like, Cooper Cup's injury, sure,

it's much easier to determine Torrey Horton would be better when Cooper Cup is not there and the snaps are more guaranteed for Horton. But also, beating out an elder Cooper Cup to just earn more snaps while he's healthy, that could happen. There's actually a handful of rookies worth talking about.

Yeah. Beyond Horton, I mean, Tess Johnson comes back off the buy. I don't think they're any healthier in terms of their wide receiver group and Tess Johnson has been heavily involved. Playing at home against New England, that's probably going to have a high over-under. What about the Denver wide receivers

when you look at Troy Franklin, who's still rostered in over 50% of leagues or the emerging Pat Bryant, who, look, he didn't do a lot production-wise, but his snaps right at an all-time high. Another rookie that you could see getting more opportunities in the second half. Yeah, Troy Franklin, I mean, he's getting targeted way too much.

I think he has more targets than Cortland Sutton. And what I mean, he's being targeted way too much for him to be available in almost half of fantasy football leagues. Pat Bright and Kyle Williams, I kind of lump those two guys together because it's a deeper league stash. You're hoping that they start to earn more and more opportunity. Kyle Williams, I think, will be directly linked, should booty miss time. Like, Vrable has already talked about Kyle Williams would be the guy who would step up into that role of trying to stretch the field. And Kyle Williams does have juice. Can he play in the NFL?

That's TBD right now, but an opportunity this weekend could be coming up. Yeah, Troy Franklin against Tampa Bay, which is that's not scary in the secondary. I would much rather, I know I'm the Troy Franklin guy, but I would much rather have Troy Franklin than Pat Brown. Brian. 21% versus 20% of the target share. So 41% of the targets are going to Corlin Sutton and Troy Franklin on the season. They both have 19% of the receiving yards for the Broncos. I mean, it seems obviously Marvin Mims has missed some time. So that could change and it could go down. Certainly Cortland Sutton is the one. But it seems that Troy Franklin is the two for this team. It's going to be inconsistent. And the Broncos' offense has been inconsistent. I mean, which Bo Nix is showing up each week. But, But, yeah, I agree. Franklin should not be on waivers. Drop candidates, Keon Coleman. I think you can drop him. Yeah. Terry McCloren, if you have no IR spots left.

Yeah. The odds of him being super relevant, almost zero with Jane Daniels out, and this injury could last another four weeks. If you don't have IR spots for Terry McLaren, I think you've got to move on and get ready for your playoffs. You disagree? No, no, no. I actually do agree. I would hate to drop it. It would feel bad, but this looks... Like if Parker Washington can help me now?

No, I get it, and he's not... It's like Keon Coleman. Yeah, great. Farewell. Go get somebody else. Terry McLaurin, it would be tougher. Matthew Golden, Brian Thomas, Jr. Matthew Golden can be cut.

Brian Thomas, I think we need some more information. I want to hear a confirmed. He has a high-en-scraintz brain. You cannot cut Brian Thomas simply because his name garner's enough. that you could trade him. Oh, you can give value, even if, you know, if you're worried about the injury or his play. I mean, he hasn't been good this year. Yeah, he's crazy, man.

I mean, we were right on the cusp of potentially a complete changeover to Travis Hunter. Like, I think Travis Hunter, I mean, everything from the team, everything from the beat riders, everything from the coaching staff, it was all going to be built around Travis Hunter, and then we lose him to a practice injury. And it would have been nice to see that. at least see what happens because... Yeah, I agree.

And then, yeah, with Matthew Golden, you don't want to know the list of first round rookie wide receivers over the last decade without a touchdown in the first eight games because that's what Matthew Golden is. Kevin White. Oh, yeah, he was a bust.

Rashad Perryman. Bust. Devonte Parker. Agalore. Treadwell, Dodson. Mike Williams for the Chargers. John Ross, Corey Davis. It's pretty much all the biggest bus you've ever heard. Except for Quentin Johnson.

Yeah. And Mike Williams. I still am going to remember that wide open screen or the slant route. Oh, where he just ran out of it, but he didn't even try. Oh, no, not one, yes. But I was going to say the one that Jordan Love missed them on when he was just standing in the middle of the field. Didn't he know about the stat? All right.

We're going to take a break and talk tight ends. I want to hear your thoughts on Luke Musgrave and some of the other options this week, including a true dog in Colston, Loveland. all right tight ends i will start with colson lovin i didn't get to come in here yesterday and react to the studs episode amazing call by mike that last week with lovelin thank you there are plays that can transform a person from a cat to a dog a single play and when four players are trying to tackle you in the middle of the field you break all of those tackles and you go into the end zone you're a dog jason he's cat's catston dogland okay that oh wait that's catston doglin he's Caston Doglin.

So you just get to choose based on the... Right now he's... Cadsden Doglin. That's the best I can give you. That's weird. Look, he had... I mean, we talked about it yesterday. He had a phenomenal game and that was an awesome play against the Cincinnati

Bengals who can't tackle anybody. And that's like the issue of all issues. And when you say he broke four guys' tackles, there were... There were four humans in the vicinity. No, they hit him. No. Not four people. Yes, they did.

Watch Blake. I have the screenshot. You have a screenshot. Watch the play. Oh, the screenshot doesn't count. Let me ask you this, Jason. No, it doesn't count because you're not watching the play and four people didn't hit him. There's facts in life.

Which weeks has Tyler Warren had over 100 receiving yards? Zero. Which weeks has Tyler Warren had multiple touchdowns? Who would you rather have? Tyler Warren or cats and dog. No, no, we're talking head to that dog. Like, you're taking it away from him. and that was a monster game

all right there wasn't four guys no he got hit by two but the three guys in the screenshot didn't all hit him one guy hit him the other guy spun him around yeah that's fair yeah uh he's still dog it was still a dog i don't want to be i'm not trying to be negative on no i don't

hate cast and dogglin at all i think that he can he has totally the potential to be good for fantasy just like meows and taylor does this is it's fine this is a top pick Yes, top 10 pick in the NFL draft. This was the evidence that you need to see from a play. And that is why they drafted him.

Exactly, a playmaker. If you watch the college tape on Colston Loveland, he was, I mean, there's a reason he was drafted in the top 10. Such an explosive athlete. He runs away from guys at his size and speed. You know, he was a wide receiver, an exceptional playmaker. He also only broke 6.8%. force miss tackles in college, 6.8%, which is an outrageous number for anyone that's drafted highly, like, you know, Brock was like 25%, Bowers and Leporta and all these topics.

Legitimate question for you. Yeah. I want to actually ask this. There's no agenda. The broken tackles, when you're a separator, when you're an athlete at tight end, do you have as many opportunities to break tackles as the ones that are always got a guy on their back? I mean, if I, if a DB, and I'm not getting separation is on me, I'm going to break that tackle 100% of the time. I'm asking the question because it's like. It makes sense. Some of, some of that certainly comes into play. And also, forced miss tackles are not the perfect indicator of fantasy success from college to the NFL.

Like, that's not necessarily, that's not one of the stats at that position that I specifically look to for fantasy success. I mean, there are plenty of examples of successful tight-ins who weren't the dog mode type that were the field-stretching, you know, not everyone is Antonio Gates. Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates are totally different play-style players. Not everyone's going to be gronk, and that doesn't mean you can't have great fantasy success. My number one pickup at tight-in right now is Colson Loveland. So, and I was, as a reminder, last week, Mike, your start of the week, I loved it for Colson Loveland. I was totally on board. I just want you to admit you're wrong.

Yeah, but that's not going to happen until I am. And I will admit when I'm wrong, when I'm wrong, which is why I have called him Catsden Dogland. I got, I'm putting dog. Okay, you got a little bit of respect. I'm halfway there. Toes in the pool. Yeah, just check the temperature.

Okay. Cat dog, Brooks. You've got to do it. You've got to do it against not the Bengals. Okay. If you break tackles against the Bengals, I'm not saying you're a dog yet. Well, and now the Bengals lost one of their elite defenders to the Cowboys. If you put all the defensive players on the Cowboys and Bengals together, you could get a top 20 defense.

I think top 20. Harold Fanon, Jr., coming off of the bye week, don't ignore him. I still like him more than going after Musgrave. I brought up Theo Johnson last week. He is going to have opportunities for touchdowns the rest of the way. He is a good player. He will drop a pass or two every game. Yes, he will.

But, you know, when you're leaning on, Darius, Slayton and Wondale and Jackson Darts doing whatever you can do. He's very red light green light right now. Theo? Yep. And we would be on red light. Mostly touchdowns or? Mostly. Oh yeah. You had Bellinger. Belinger with a touchdown last week. So he's involved. What I'm excited about for Giants fans is just the whole

like Theo, Scat, Malik, Jackson DART, future. That is just so like I love Jackson Dard. I really do. I think he's a great player. He's very, he's the most electric player to like it just has the pole that you want to watch and see what he's gonna do he's unequivocally a better quarterback

right now than Cam Ward obviously oh yes clearly it's just like Cam Ward's number one overall pick and can't get it figured I still can't get the throwing motion for Camden what is going on with that I guess it's just it is that how we threw in college when you throw the ball stupidly

it's fine if you're Philip Rivers because with the production when you throw it stupidly and you can't you know complete passes and we have to make fun of you yeah um another good pickup coming off of the buy i think is um kate aughton yeah kate otton yeah kate ott is you know very necessary to the offense he's not a guy that's going to go out there and score 15 points and be the number three tight end on the week but he's that k dog in no wait i can do that one but you know he's a guy that can go out there and get six to ten targets and ppr his way to plugging the tight end position

sure on your leaky boat defensive options coming off the buy Cleveland gets the Jets whoa whoa whoa yes please what about the advantage yeah they have no idea which quarterback they're going to play it's a huge advantage of the Jets has no idea who he's going to sack five times no he can't he can't plan on that no Cleveland dear goodness I held them through the buy for this reason they're the best defense in football are one of the um they're also only 21% rostered because a lot of people don't carry both. So the Cleveland Browns, to me, are the number one team to pick up. I agree. I think that's

a great one. The Texans are available in about a third of leagues, and they're playing Jacksonville, who turns a ball over and has some wide receiver issues. If you want a team that is widely available, kind of a dirty nasty boy, the Carolina. No, this is not dirty nasty

at all. The Carolina Panthers, they looked great against Green Bay at Lambo last week, and they are at home against currently named Tyler Sucks a rookie who I mean the Saints just looked so outclassed last week

and obviously I don't think the Panthers are in the tier of the Rams but the Panthers they have won several games in a row in the Bryce Young games and they're at home so I would play them and they're available in all your leagues because they're the Panthers. No I love it

the five and four Panthers by the way yeah somehow it's no credit. Everything goes to how bad Green Bay is and nothing goes to how good care. And the running game with Rico, that helps their defense tremendously. Yeah, they're playing a

time of possession game. And it worked. And it was awesome. So all the defensive waiver wire pickups also on the website. You can check out our list in order. All the waiver wire rankings are up there. The fancy footballers.com. That was this week's

waiver wire presented by Jimmy Johns. Jimmy John's new toasted pizza The sandwich is available in two flavors, three cheese pizza sandwich and Sicilian pizza sandwich. Oh, that's good at participating locations for a limited time while supplies last. Full stream ahead. I'm going to let you guys kick off our quarterback streaming segment because I like your picks way more than mine. So I like Jason's the most. Yeah, I mean, I'm going Jackson Dart, you know, in Chicago.

He might be rostered, but he, if he's wrong, rostered, he is not your only quarterback. This is a decision of you've picked him up because he's looked good. This is the game to play him. He's the quarterback three in total fantasy points since becoming the starter in week four, which is crazy. He's rushing. We just talked about it. It's, you know, one of the top rushing quarterbacks in the league, and he hasn't been a starter until week four. Since the Giants, since the takeover, the Giants offense ranks ninth in play success, 12th in points per drive, and they're tied for fourth in most total touchdowns scored. He runs the ball. Chicago's defense has not looked good. They are tied

for dead last in yards per play allowed. It's a tougher streaming week. DART would be clearly at the top if he is somehow available. My suggestion right now, it's Michael Pennix. He takes on Indianapolis. It didn't work out for Aaron Rogers. It worked for the Steelers, though, that you're able to score on the Colts. Pennix had three touchdowns last week.

Yeah, he did that. They forced the ball to Drake London. He only has one wide receiver. He really... Did you know that? Yeah, yeah. He doesn't have any other wide outs. Well, thank goodness. They need to use Bijon a little bit more. But like... He's a running back. I know, I know, but they needed Jacoby Myers. They lost the game because they

didn't use B. John Robinson because it's like J.J. McCarthy, I think he would have been in play. But the last three games that we've seen, Baltimore, their defense against quarterbacks, it has shifted. So that is, that's something to pay attention to if you want to, you know, one of the tools we provide for the footland is our stream finder. It really helps you identify these guys who kind of stand out. And you can look, I would suggest filtering, not just by the whole season right now. You want to see how teams are swinging. And the Baltimore Ravens are, it looks like the swagger is coming back against quarterbacks for fantasy purposes. Did you, did you see J.J. McCarthy's ridiculous stat line situation, the mirror for his two wins? No, I did not.

So he was 13 for 143 and 2 with a pick in his first victory against Chicago. This week, he was 14 for 143 and 2 with a pick. Both of his wins, identical stat lines. I'm throwing Marcus Mariotta out there. He finds a way to just be okay most often just by running the football. Hey, Marcus, you're okay. Hey, as a backup, that's a pretty good thing to say. Averaging about 30 rushing yards a game, they run these like quarterback draws with him. If you can break loose on one of those, big over under, maybe a lot of garbage time with Detroit. Lions 23rd against fantasy quarterback since week three.

Yeah, that's not bad. It's not the end of the world there. Mario does the type that can find his way into the top 10 on any given week. He's done it a lot. Would you play him or Pinnix? Because I think that's a tough one. I would play Pinnix. I think I like that it's a dome environment.

I guess both are in a dome. Oh, no, no, no. The Mario is at home? This week, I think Mario is at home against Detroit. I like what I saw from Pinnix last week. The suggestion was going to be C.J. Stroud at home against Jacksonville, but we don't know about his concussion. All right.
